About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to float with the world and not to sink

ABOUT ME

Tell everything there is to know about you in a blank and small space, not the easiest task there is. And not the mentality I wish to practise which is precisely the reason I'm interested in this project in the first place: because I think people are more than the words they write about themselves.

For instance, I am - at least I hope to be - much more than this: a white, shorthaired somewhat bisexual somewhat female, who finds it more and more difficult to consider anything an acceptable future occupation but something very much to do with art, because nothing else feels as much worth doing. This isn't little, but I know I'm much, much more. As I know all of you are. End of pathos.

PHILOSOPHY

It's necessary to get out of your comfort zones, comforting though they are, but you'll get so much in return.

Interests

Art mostly, especially film, books and music.

Also animals and nature, biology in general.

Yoga, jogging, relaxing, forests.

Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, M. John Harrison, Alastair Reynolds, Rex Stout, Jean Genet, Mirkka Rekola and many many other poets and/or novelists both finnish and foreign.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago in late November, I slept one night outside on the deck of a smallish boat in Whitby, UK. Quite cold, amazing city lights reflecting on the sea, amazing clouds coming in from the sea in the very early hours of the morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm just quoting Kerouac, but here goes: Breathing is the most important thing.
